WR

• Main Waiver Wire Pickups
  • GB Geronimo Allison (37% owned) @LAR
    • A favorite WR add among the Footballers if available in your league. Allison missed time with a hamstring injury but is hopeful to return to game action with the Packers coming off their Bye Week.
  • GB Marquez Valdes-Scantling (8% owned) @LAR
  • ARI Christian Kirk (26% owned) vs SF
  • NO Tre’Quan Smith (17% owned) @MIN
    • With Ted Ginn on IR, Smith out-snapped Cameron Meredith big time.
  • LAC Tyrell Williams (15% owned) on BYE then @SEA
    • Boom/Bust player but
  • LAC Mike Williams (50% owned) on BYE then @SEA
  • NYJ Robby Anderson (47% owned) @CHI
    • Owners were burned when all of sudden Robby got 10 targets instead of Kearse. The Jets also signed Rishard Matthews. Will it stay unpredictable? Probably.
  • DEN Courtland Sutton (5% owned) @KC
    • Sutton could have big opportunity IF the Broncos were to trade Emmanuel Sanders or Demaryius Thomas.
  • MIA Danny Amendola (10% owned) @HOU
    • Both Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson are out for at least Week 8.

RB

• Main Waiver Wire Pickups
  • IND Marlon Mack (56% owned) @OAK
    • The clear top RB add if available in your league.
  • ATL Ito Smith (54% owned) on BYE then @WAS
  • OAK Jalen Richard (22% owned) vs IND
    • Marshawn Lynch to the IR. Jalen Richard has averaged close to 6 receptions a game.
  • OAK Doug Martin (24% owned) vs IND
    • KRAMPUS may return to fantasy “relevance” with Lynch hitting the IR.
  • BUF Chris Ivory (8% owned) vs NE
    • LeSean McCoy left early with a concussion and did not return. He also appeared to injure his right ankle, but the Bills haven’t reported on that.
  • SF Raheem Mostert (13% owned) @ARI
    • “Colonel Mustard” could continue to see work IF Matt Breida actually misses a game. The Cardinals have given up A LOT of points to running backs. Mostert was also featured in the Week 8 Waiver Wire Film Study

  • CLE Duke Johnson (54%  owned) @PIT
  • PHI Wendell Smallwood (50% owned) vs JAX
